[Riskable]

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170762

           Summary: Kopete reports valid AOL screen names as invalid when
                    attempting to add them to your buddy list
           Product: kopete
           Version: 0.60.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: riskable at youknowwhat.com


Version:           0.60.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When trying to add a perfectly valid screen name to your AIM buddy list such as
user at domain.com Kopete reports, "You must enter a valid AOL screen name".  This
behaviour is incorrect.  The validation code should be modified to allow
jabber-like addresses.

FYI:  I'm not sure when it started but AOL does allow connections via federated
channels (such as Jabber/Gmail) to their chat network.  You can even use the
Jabber protocol to connect to AIM if you use their XMPP gateway
(xmpp.oscar.aol.com).

For reference, a buddy list downloaded from the server containing
user at domain.com addresses works fine in Kopete.  The only thing that appears to
be broken in this context is the validation code that prevents users from
adding new addresses to the buddy list.
